SINGAPORE, June 28 (The Straits Times/ANN): The Expert Committee on Covid-19 Vaccination and a senior infectious diseases specialist from the National Centre for Infectious Diseases have called out the one-sided claims by a group of doctors behind an open letter arguing for a halt in the vaccination of Singapore's youths.

In a revised statement issued on Monday (June 28), the Ministry of Health (MOH), which oversees the Expert Committee on Covid-19 Vaccination, said that news reports about a child's death in the United States did not state heart failure as a cause, as alleged in the open letter. "The matter is still under investigation by the US authorities," said MOH.
